    And your point is exactly? Many people find speaking to Royalty intimidating and if they can say something light-hearted and ideally requires an answer such as if they still throw spears as part of their coming of age ceremony then that can help people relax. I mean sure some of his attempts to do that did show he came from a different generation and as such, it can be seen as having mild racism in them but most of what people called him out for simply wasn't.

    I hope it's not evening because if you lose and the forum goes into meltdown and it breaks you might have to put up with an evening without the site as I'm not sure I'm up for spending a Saturday Evening bouncing between watching football of today's level and live server readouts looking for potential issues :) Noon or 12:30 would be better for me

    When he was quoted as" looks like it was wired by an Indian " was it racist or was it an observation of a well travelled man who had seen the standard of electrics in India. Tend to think it was the latter

    As Stork said he said he meant cowboy and just got mixed up. Seeing as you refer to shoddy work as being done by Cowboys that makes more sense. It's not like there is a stereotype of Indians doing shoddy electrical work after all

    Agree with you 100%-watching a funeral is so boring yet millions will be glued to their TV etc to watch a group of Royals and a few others sticking 2 fingers up to the rest of us who abide by the Covid guidelines.

    I wonder if Dominic Cousins has been drafted in to provide "expert" advice.
